Gonzaga Bay Update?
I am looking for any current info in regards to travelling to Gonzaga Bay. Roadwork, Checkpoints, etc.
How's Alfonsinas restaurant doing?
Is Punta Final still charging for a day trip?
Any current info would be helpful.
Thanks much

Alfe's is undergoing an expansion, prices are up but still a good stop. Yes Punta is charging to get through the gate. No toys. Checkpoints are the
same, friendly military by my experiences. The road, potholes are always being fixed, but the road going south from SF is bad. Blacktop paving is
falling apart. Slow down on the way to Puertositos. South of that, watch out for rocks on the road. Coming from the south, kind of graded dirt, you'll
hit blacktop about 15 miles before Gonzaga bay.

Alfe's is a must skip.
Every beautiful beach in the world needs a few condo towers - NOT.

I've only stayed there once several years ago. My brother and I had a room under the windmill. The bearings were shot and the noise was so loud we
couldn't sleep. My brother told em to turn it off or give us our money back, they turned it off. Never stayed there again mostly because I think it is
over priced. I have no problem sleeping on my camp cot.
Now their food is a different story, excellent and I've eaten there many times.

For me, that whole place is highly over-rated. The other accommodations, Rancho Grande I think, can be another rip-off. When I went there this past
January, they booked myself & another couple in the same trailer and then tried to put me in a trailer with no refrigerator at the same price.
Asked for my money back and they did give it to me. There are other places just as appealing on the coast with less chance of being rip-offed. Guess
they've had too many gringos there hence the attitude.

Don't want to do alphonsina then try the restaurant at pulmo about 5 miles north of rancho grande . No hotel but great food half the price and better
service. A mile off the highway but worth it !!! Please give it a try. Look for the sigh and follow the road to a old school good Mexican restaurant.

David the guy in the 3rd pix down is a rip off artist. He bums beer from his buddies and smokes from his girl friends.

Lol, not the squarecicle, lol!
The good restaurant mentioned above is La Poma, 1 mile in, at km. 133.5. This is 7 miles north of the Pemex station, km. 147 (Alfonsina's driveway).
The small motel is at Punta Bufeo, km. 135.5 and 1.4 miles in.

Yes. When I was there in March. I can't recall how much but it seemed like a lot to just take a look.

See my Trip #1 (2017) report. It is all there. It is on my map, as it is too new for the AAA map or Almanac.

To get really picky, it is La Poma as I corrected freediverbrian already, last night. Cindi, let me know if you need a link to the photos of the place
and the generous fish dinner I had there.
